在禪坐當中,事實上,陷於平靜裡比卡在煩擾中還糟,因為,卡在煩惱中至少還會想逃脫,然而,在平靜中,你卻只會樂於其中,沒有任何進展。當極喜、清明的狀態從內觀中生起時,千萬別去執著它們。
In meditation practice, it is actually worse to be caught in calmness that to be stuck in agitation, because at least you will want to escape from agitation, whereas you are content to remain in calmness and not go any further. When blissful clear states arise from insight meditation practice, do not cling to them.
